Ali Khan & Rani Mukerji | The
same day, he accidentally meets a music student, Radhika (Rani Mukerji), who he
falls in love with. He
gets drafted into 'Speeding Saddles' - a failing race team and transforms from
Rajveer Singh to "RV" - the race car driver. While
his racing career takes off instantly, his love life also blossoms after a whirlwind
romance.
A few months later, he is both a happily married man and one of the country's
best racers. Fatherhood
and greater success follows and soon, he is the top race car driver in America,
as well as the proud father of two precocious kids - Priya (Angelina Idnani) and
Ranveer (Ali Haji).

happy families | However,
tragedy strikes when RV is involved in an accident and is hospitalised for a few
months.
He tries to make a comeback but the trauma of the accident mentally scars him.
His
life now takes a turn for the worse and after a string of failures, he is forced
to auction his house and move with his family to a run down Bronx-style neighbourhood.
However,
RV and Radhika decide not to tell their children the truth and construct a skillful
masquerade of a reality show where they have to live a poor life in order to win
a mythical grand prize. As
the family struggles to survive a life that they are not used to, they use a mixture
of fantasy and cheerfulness to pull through in the face of adversity. But
an incident forces RV to reclaim the life that was taken away from him. Can
he, once again and perhaps for a last time, face down his inner demons on the
race track? Can the family remain together in the wake of what could perhaps be
their biggest challenge yet? Tara
Rum Pum is a moving story of one man, his family and how they overcome the obstacles
that life puts in their way. It
is the story of human spirit and how it ultimately prevails. The
film releases this April 2007 in the UK cinemas by Yash Raj Films. Previewed
